I'd love to see this get released.

I always thought the Cobra II looked better personally:

These cars were actually in demand in the 80's-90's - mostly for the front suspension; hot rod builders and restorers used it for old Model A/T era cars. Some (one at least) actually used the front end from one of these for a '72 Maverick...

@c0der7 Ok, thanks. One last question if I may:
With most of the vanilla cars they have a number of livery strings equal to the different color options, even if the car doesn't have any liveries. However, I've seen mods that have, say, one color option and five livery strings, but another with fifteen color options and eight livery strings. My question is, are they (the livery strings) even necessary for a car without any liveries? Could the tag not just be left empty (like the <extraIncludes /> and <trailers /> often are in the vehicles.meta file) or even omitted completely?

@c0der7 I noticed after the Import/Export update that there are sometimes more than four color slots:
<Item>
<modelName>nero</modelName>
<colors>
<Item>
<indices content="char_array">
70
64
18
112
63
65
</indices>
Any idea what these extra two are for? Other than the Nero, the ItaliGTB (but not ItaliGTB2), Specter(2), and Technical2 all have six slots; while the Voltic2 has five.

@rraaiizzeenn If the add-on vehicle doesn't include them I'll usually just copy the entry for one that does, paste it in place and then change all the appropriate lines/names to fit the new vehicle. Works like a charm so far on 5 or 6 vehicles using the recycled info from one.

Absolutely. This one is just a good starting point for the many people that ask the basic question of "how do I mod my GTA 5?" It was a suggestion for ease of reference, not status.

@Reyser Are you still able to apply the engine, exhaust, etc using "0"? Seems like I tried that once and was unable to use the generic mods either. Might have just not had it matching in carvariations.meta though.

@Reyser A similar method works for mods as well. I have 2 cars sharing the same modkit ID with no problems. Granted you don't get any visual mods obviously, but you can use the engine, gearbox, suspension, brakes, and horns at least.

@Akila_Reigns Your tutorial fits the description - thought that it may be helpful to those new to modding if it were pinned.
